Never forget Obama’s policy of retroactively classifying anyone who was murdered by a US drone as an enemy combatant BECAUSE of their proximity to an exploding US drone missile regardless of who they were before we blew them up.

I knew Tate was a ln insecure woman hating, probably closeted, human trafficking rapist. I didn’t realize that he’s also a Nazi.

Honestly, I’ve read this piece by Josh Marshal three times now and I’m not sure what he’s trying to claim. Is he saying that the fascist overreach by the federal government, of sending troops into states to terrorize citizens, isn’t too worrisome because the feds are still articulating a law-based justification for doing it? That is to say, if they are still winking at the idea of doing ‘laws’, then the violence they are escalating won’t go too far. Am I interpreting that wrong?

If that’s what Josh as actually saying, this is ridiculous liberal cope from an ideology that only values process and not principle. Look everyone, trump signed the forms in the right places, so you don’t have to worry about his goons cracking your kids’ skulls. Oh, elections happen on the state level, and the federal government is still referencing states as an entity in their bogus law fare filings, so we’re still okay.

It’s precisely this kind of pedantic, legalistic, and frankly cowardly worldview that has kept the Democrats from mounting any kind of substantive opposition to the Republicans’ fascist project for 40 years. Some things actually aren’t that complex.

And, they’ll vote for him again anyway (or whatever the equivalent future action is) because it’s a death cult.

This rally cry (to dismantle DHS) sounds exactly like the kind of popular policy position the Democrats always take when they are out of power. Then, when we give them the power to act, they refuse to implement it (usually in service of some nonsense like “mending”, “coalition building”, or “returning to normalcy”).

Participation award.

I’m confused. Are these state parks on federal lands?

From the released footage, it appears that the murderer, Jonathan Ross, was holding his phone camera and filming the entire murder. That is critical evidence that the state needs to have to either prosecute or potentially exonerate Jonathan Ross. I’m not sure why more of the reporting on this murder isn’t covering that detail. Again, murderer Jonathan Ross is in possession of critical murder evidence that documents a fuckin’ murder.

Yes, I’m talking about murderer Jonathan Ross, who did a murder.

The murderer’s name is Jonathan Ross.

ICE are enemies of all Americans. If you’re ICE, you deserve prosecution. If our justice system is so broken that the law no longer applies to ICE, then Americans need to tear them to pieces.

Are we talking about trump’s jerking off two dicks dance?

Apparently the political party that Musk started when he crashed out is the Cybertruck of political parties.

Harris’ advocacy for genocide was more politically damaging than trump’s advocacy for genocide because they were appealing for votes from different constituencies. trump was soliciting votes from emotion-driven sociopaths and bigoted dullards who love to see brown people blowing up. Harris was soliciting votes from more educated, more enlightened, more empathetic people. Harris decided to throw those voters aside, assume their support, and try to siphon off the dullards. That is political malpractice. Republicans keep consolidating power because they are responsive to and deliver to their sociopathic base. Democrats keep doing the opposite. That’s why they lose.

It’s endlessly ironic and frustrating that the party that cares so little about the desires of its members calls itself ‘Democrats’.

You’re missing my point. Let’s stipulate that things are worse now that trump is president. Got it. Why do you blame the electorate and not the candidate? If she had been more politically savvy, she would not have taken such a politically damaging position? It’s her fault. She is the one you should be heaping scorn on.

So you’re admitting that it was Harris’ devotion to an unpopular policy that killed her campaign. Am I getting that right? Why do you hold such disdain for an electorate that took a stand on an important issue, but not the candidate who made such a terrible political decision?

Fascists will always contrive some arbitrary rationalization to do whatever the fuck they want to do with you. They have no allegiance to truth, logic or consistency.

I was going to call out the same thing. This looks so pathetic. It’s basically the new version of that dumb sharpie modification he made to the weather map in his first term. What a loser.

Wait, wait, wait. Naturalized citizens are legal citizens. I’m pretty sure that they and every thumb I argue with on Nextdoor has told me that all of this is just about enforcing laws. Goodness gracious, I’m starting to suspect that they are lying.

There’s an important lessons to be had from the way the president, his administration, and the assortment of corrupt media supporters are flailing around right now. That lesson is the absolute lie that is “meritocracy” that they all are so desperate to have you believe in. These people aren’t smart, talented or deserving of the powers they’ve managed to seize. They’re largely dumbfucks that have slid down tracks of privilege into these positions. I don’t mean to downplay the danger that they pose. They have means for incredible amounts of destruction.
